The Case In Which Streaming In Another World Led To The Creation Of A Massive Yandere Following

Chapter 70: Hey, Are You Watching!?

“…”

“… Fufu, I said it.”

Maria stuck out her tongue and chuckled.

Although Kanata couldn’t immediately understand the words just spoken to him, he did when he saw Maria’s smile before him.

“… Maria?”

“Yeah?”

“That…”

It’s no wonder that Kanata would be like this when faced with a sudden confession.

It’s similar to what happened with Alphana, but he didn’t seem to accept it so easily.

The expressions of the two gazing at each other up close were contrasting, but it was clear that both of them were blushing and shy.

“I’m sorry for suddenly confessing. But I couldn’t help but say it. I don’t want to be led by Alphana all the time, and above all, I want you to know my feelings even if you already know them, you know?”

“… Is that so?”

“That’s how it is.”

Maria moved away from Kanata.

However, her gaze never left him, and in fact, it continued with an even gentler look.

“I was such a huge fan of Haishin-sama that I went crazy for him, but after meeting Kanata-kun, the person inside Haishin-sama, I can’t help myself but be attracted to you without doubting it, you see? And after spending time together like this, it’s natural for my feelings to grow stronger for you… Fufu, after it’s my first time in love.”

“… I…”

How should he answer?

It’s a fact that both Maria and Alphana are incredibly beautiful girls, and it’s certain that being with them is fun and makes his heart at ease.

Even though he’s thought so many times before about how happy he would be to have girls like them as his girlfriends, he still can’t easily reach out and take their hands.

“I’m a princess, and Alphana is a saint. You must be really struggling… or maybe troubled by this. I’m sorry, I knew that and still told you my feelings.”

Despite that, Maria continued to speak.

“Kanata-kun, you can continue as usual. However, from now on, allow me to advance myself more, as I want to keep supporting you. So, please let’s take care of each other, okay?”

“…”

Saying that, Maria faced forward. 

Then, without saying anything, time passed between them. It was not an awkward time, but a comfortable one, as expected when Maria was next to him. 

Kanata felt a sense of peace when Alphana was around, and he felt the same with Maria.

“Hey, Maria.”

“Hmm?”

That’s why he couldn’t just stay silent after her words. Kanata met Maria’s gaze again and conveyed his true feelings to her.

“To be honest, I’m really happy. I mean, to hear that you and Alphana like me and thinking that if I reach out my hand, I might have a chance.”

“Yeah.”

“But… I’m such a coward that I can’t even stretch out my hand. You and Alphana are important friends and also very important to me. I probably… love you both, and I don’t want to let you go.”

That’s right, Kanata also had feelings for Maria and Alphana. He was originally drawn to them because he thought they were incredibly beautiful, but by spending time with them as Haishin and as himself, they became very important to him.

“Being confessed to by Maria and Alphana… it would be easier if I could just stretch out my hand honestly, but I can’t help feeling like I’m not good enough.”

The princess and saint should say they don’t mind and would definitely accept Kanata. But, it was also the right decision not to be too straightforward and jump into a relationship without thinking it through.

“… If I could just stretch out this hand, honestly.”

Kanata reached out his hand into the air. Then, Maria gently took his hand and led it to her chest as if inviting him to embrace her.

“Never mind being a princess. I’ve actually thought about doing something extreme, like pushing you down here and taking your first time, you know?”

“… Huh?!”

That was such a shocking, or rather, taboo statement that Princess Maria should never have uttered.

However, with that one sentence, Kanata’s worries changed to surprise, and for a moment, his worries were blown away in a good way.

“Fufu, well, that was half a joke. You see, Kanata-kun, I like this moment as it is now. I’m satisfied with the current situation where I can be by your side and help you, the man I admire.”

“You think so?”

“Yes. That’s why I don’t want to force any changes, and I intend to respect your thoughts, Kanata-kun. But because I’ve expressed my feelings, I want you to allow more skinship than before, okay?”

Saying so, Maria once again showed a beautiful smile.

After that, he was told not to think too much about it, just like what Alphana had said, and to interact with her as usual.

Kanata wondered why both Maria and Alphana, being so charming, put him first and themselves second.

(… Because they love me, right? Hey, Maria and Alphana… How much easier would it be if I were just troubled by whether my partner is a princess or a saint? )

Kanata’s worries were not just about his status.

It’s because he cares about the two of them that he has these worries, which is almost the worst way of thinking as a man.

Even so, Kanata knew that he would continue to indulge in this luxury of worry as he would eventually have to find an answer.

“Oh, by the way…”

“What is it?”

However, since Kanata and Maria both wanted each other to act normally, there is no need to drag things on.

Maria said this to Kanata, who had returned to his usual self.

“Did you… kiss Alphana?”

“…”

Kanata’s heart skipped a beat.

Since he had only kissed Alphana once, it was not strange for Kanata to be nervous.

Maria seemed to have guessed from Kanata’s expression and brought her face closer, looking regretful.

“I want to kiss too…?” 

While saying that, Maria gently placed her hand on Kanata’s cheek and closed the distance between them without stopping. 

With a cute smooch, Kanata and Maria exchanged a kiss.

“… Maria.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m the worst indecisive b*****d. Why don’t you just kill me here?”

“Kanata-kun!?”

Kanata was overwhelmed with various emotions. Although the dark part of his heart told him to enjoy himself fully while a beautiful woman confessed her love in front of him, it was also Kanata-like to be unable to do it.

To heal Kanata, who had a dead expression due to extreme distress, Maria hugged him tightly with her ample bosom. It is well known that men all around the world find solace in women’s b*****s, and Maria knew that.

“All right, first of all, let’s calm down, Kanata-kun.”

“… Maria.”

Thanks to how they had leaned against each other for a while, Kanata finally calmed down and returned to his normal self. 

Seeing the rapidly changing expressions of Kanata, Maria felt something resembling maternal instinct and said that she would do it anytime he wanted.

“Thank you, Maria.”

“No problem, it’s all good ♪.”

For now, we can assume that the situation has settled down. They looked at each other, and both smiled without thinking.

“I know Haishin-sama’s words are great, but it was Kanata-kun who said them. That’s why Alphana and I were attracted to you, Kanata-kun, not just your words on the surface.”

“I see… Haha, I’m really embarrassed.”

Kanata scratched his head vigorously but then suddenly looked towards the lake.

“… Huh?”

In the lake, if Kanata wasn’t mistaken, he saw a naked woman staring fixedly with wide-open eyes. 

The figure was definitely not human, with a completely blue body and red eyes, but it disappeared in the next moment, and Kanata tilted his head in confusion.

“What’s wrong?”

“I felt like there was something in the lake…”

“Oh? Could it be a spirit?”

Kanata thought of Undines, famous spirits that live in water, but he couldn’t confirm it since it disappeared.

However, some words appeared on the surface of the water.

‘You should do it here. I wonder why all virgins are like that.’

[EDN: Straight to the point. H**l yeah.]

“…”

No, there definitely was someone there.

A mischievous spirit was observing Kanata and Maria’s exchange from within the water!

“Is something wrong…?”

“Maria, look only at me!”

He didn’t want to show Maria the word ‘virgin’ or anything like that, so he used those words to convey that message, but Maria seemed to take it differently.

“Kanata-kun ♪.”

With heart symbols in her eyes, Maria stared only at Kanata.

From then on, someone kept teasing Kanata by touching him secretly whenever Maria wasn’t looking, and it continued until Kanata and Maria left.

And so, Kanata was told of the feelings of two girls.

What kind of answer Kanata will give the two of them is still unknown and it may come sooner than not.

No one knows yet.
